Peggy Seeger: She must be one of the most complete artists around
today. Peggy Seeger's tongue-in-cheek look at life comes accompanied by
music from all sorts of sources. Alongside the piano, the guitar, the
Appalachian dulcimer, the concertina and the banjo, she set the lot
aside for a moment or two last night and just simply created rhythm and
music by taping the side of her guitar. For her it spelt out a sort of
rhythm of life. - Neil Johnston, Belfast Telegraph

Released 01/01/1977Mike & Peggy Seeger

This acclaimed collection, a favorite for years, has been repackaged on two compact discs (or two cassettes), for a total of more than two hours of music. Mike and Peggy Seeger sing 94 songs from their mother Ruth Crawford Seeger's famous book, American Folk Songs for Children (Doubleday). The Seegers are featured on a wide variety of instruments including dulcimer, mandolin, guitar, banjo, pan pipes, Jew's harp, concertina and fiddle; they also sing some numbers without any accompaniment at all. This album has been the cornerstone of Rounder's Children's Series since its release. (2 CD or 2 Cassette set.)
